BXBX NOVEL 167 Chapter 167
"Haha, my beloved consort's dance is so beautiful that even the stars in the sky are overshadowed!"
Cheng'an was hugging a singer from the Western regions who had just finished a dance, and his big hands were groping around the beautiful woman's delicate body.
The singer of the Western regions had a welcoming appearance, and her slender, jade-like hand slid across Cheng'an's chest.
"Her Highness the Eldest Princess has already come." The singer of the Western regions said tenderly as she held Cheng'an's weakness with her small hand.
"My Beloved Consort, you have good means. You can even hide from Royal Sister." Cheng'an was still a little afraid of this sister.
Furthermore, Changning was a saint cultivator, so her words carried a lot of weight.
"Why don't Your Majesty marry the Eldest Princess off or arrange for her to live outside? That way, no one will bother us." The singer of the Western regions stuck out her pink tongue and licked Cheng'an's face.
Changning was the only variable. This Western Region singer didn't want her good plan to be ruined.
"No, my sister's marriage was decided by the late Emperor. No one can change it. Furthermore, there must be a saint cultivator in the palace." Cheng'an was not completely confused.
If he drove Changning out of the palace, how could he guarantee his own safety?
Moreover, he didn't have the guts to do so.
"It's better to cut the root to avoid any accidents. I still have a few sisters who know all kinds of tricks. I'm sure Your Majesty will like them." The singer of the Western regions rolled her eyes and placed Cheng'an's large hand on her plump chest.
Cheng'an hadn't seen much of the world, and this singer from the Western regions was truly open-minded, serving him every night in all sorts of ways, he would have been left to die.
When he heard that the singer of the Western regions had a sister, Cheng'an was immediately moved.
"Does Beloved Consort have any ideas? Quickly tell me." His big hands rubbed the beauty's chest, a little impatient in his heart.
Fang Liuqing and Noble Consort Qin were both daughters of noble families.
Naturally, he couldn't do that kind of trick.
Moreover, as the Empress of the Great Zhou, Fang Liuqing had to remind Cheng'an that he could not let loose and damage royal etiquette.
Perhaps this made him rebel, which led to him lingering with the Western Region singers.
"Your Majesty, as the supreme Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it's up to you to remove the Empress. As long as you announce it in the main hall tomorrow, I'll arrange for my sisters to enter the palace the day after. How about it?" After the Western Region singer finished speaking, she slowly bent down and served Cheng'an with all her might.
Cheng'an's eyes were half-closed, but his mind was already wandering.
No matter if it was the Eldest Princess, his mother's teachings, or Zhou Shimin's last words, they had all been thrown to the back of his mind.
The most important thing was to be greedy for extreme happiness.
Cheng'an, who was enjoying himself, did not see the mockery in the eyes of the Western singer.
......
The next morning.
In the throne room.
Cheng'an walked into the hall with light steps and sat on the Dragon Throne that symbolized the Emperor.
"Empress, you don't want to improve and always stir up trouble in the harem. You don't have virtue. I declare that the Empress is abolished!" With a wave of his sleeve, Cheng'an acted first and reported later.
"Your Majesty, you can't!"
"I hope your Majesty will reconsider!"
"The Empress is the motherly figure of the world. His Majesty's actions are in violation of the ancestral teachings!"
The officials were so shocked that they couldn't say anything. Removing the Empress was a matter of national importance, and they had to see if the Empress really didn't cultivate her virtue before they could make the final decision.
Now that Cheng'an was suddenly implementing the power of the deposed Empress, the ministers would definitely come forward to stop it.
Fang Yuanqing closed his eyes. He knew his daughter very well. Back then, Zhou Shimin had advised him several times before he finally agreed to let Fang Liuqing marry into the inner court of the palace.
But now, it had ended up like this.
However, he couldn't stand out and plead for mercy. After all, he had to avoid and absolutely couldn't let others catch hold of his weakness.
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to reinvestigate the case of colluding with the White Lotus Cult!" Cheng'an punched the Dragon chair. When he thought about how he would be served by a group of Western beauties the next day, he wished that time could pass even faster.
The group of old officials left behind by the late Emperor would definitely stop him at all costs, so he could use this opportunity to replace them all.
In this way, they could enjoy singing and dancing every night, and no one would be able to control themselves.
As the Emperor, his words were like gold and Jade. He immediately ignored the objections of his ministers, got up, and walked out of the throne room. He didn't even need to submit a memorial to the morning court.
"Sigh, I'm afraid the Great Zhou Dynasty is about to change!"
Some old officials knelt on the ground and looked helplessly at Cheng'an's back.
They really couldn't figure out why they had suddenly become like this.
"Prime Minister Fang, what do we do now?" An official asked.
"This Minister is old and should abdicate. The matters of the Imperial Court have nothing to do with me." Fang Yuanqing said in disappointment.
Just now, Cheng'an had asked to reopen the case of the White Lotus Cult. His purpose was self-evident. It was better to leave on his own initiative. As for his daughter, he could only ask Princess Changning to take care of her.
The most important thing was to keep his life. He now regretted marrying Fang Liuqing into the imperial family.
The news of her being removed soon reached Princess Changning's ears, and she was so angry that smoke was coming out of her head.
She had wanted to say a few words to Cheng'an after the court session to dispel his thoughts of being an Empress.
He hadn't expected that Cheng'an would ignore the opposition of the entire court and make the dethroned Empress a sure fact.
The result was out, and she was powerless to change it.
"Your Highness the Eldest Princess, Prime Minister Fang requests an audience." The palace maid outside the door said.
"Please, no, I'll personally welcome him." Changning immediately stood up from his chair. Princess Changning was very clear about the weight of this senior figure of three dynasties.
She quickly walked out of the palace and saw Fang Yuanqing with a worried expression.
"I was just about to look for Prime Minister Fang, I didn't expect you to personally come over." Princess Changning forced a smile on her face.
Fang Yuanqing sighed and followed Princess Changning to the pavilion in the courtyard.
"Your Highness, please set up a barrier." Fang Yuanqing was a scheming old man, he mouthed the words.
Princess Changning had set up a barrier. Unless a saint cultivator like He Chuan came in person, no one could hear their voices.
She quickly told him about Liuqing looking for her yesterday, including the fact that she didn't have time to persuade Cheng'an and Empress Dowager Qin Lihua had moved into the Daoist temple.
"In my opinion, this matter is of great importance. Whether or not we can defend the great Zhou Dynasty will all depend on the Eldest Princess." Fang Yuanqing knew that she was a saint cultivator.
"Please explain in detail, Prime Minister." Changning also felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
"Ever since Your Majesty ascended to the throne, he has been working hard to govern the country. He's not any worse than the Late Emperor. I also saw this point and allowed Qing'er to marry into the palace. So in my opinion, the problem lies with the singers of the Western regions." Fang Yuanqing was an old fox, how could he not see through it?
Whether it was the White Lotus Cult or the various tribes in the outer realms, all of them were eyeing the Great Zhou Dynasty covetously. They were constantly looking for an opportunity to topple the Great Zhou.
The sudden change in Cheng'an's personality was definitely because he had been bewitched.
Now that the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, they had to be extremely careful and couldn't make the slightest mistake.
Prime Minister Fang explained the plan.
"Your Highness, it would be best if you could contact nine thousand years old. His Majesty once told me in secret that he would give nine thousand years old the power to set things right."
"Master is a mysterious person. Ever since he left the palace, he has never returned." Princess Changning also wanted to contact He Chuan, but she couldn't.
